...and need help understanding.

What does it matter to someone of faith X, what person of faith Y thinks about the fate of the person of faith X?

I mean, a great many of Christians are perfectly happy in the confident knowledge that most everyone around them are consigned to eternal death. ("a great many", I know it's not a Christian's place to judge)

If I had some personal quirky faith in which I believed that touching your screen name on your monitor with my index finger would save your soul, and I sat here touching your screen names with my index finger - not bothering you, but just performing my private little blessing ritual here on your screen name - how would it harm you?

I know it is "insulting" in some sense, but why is it any more insulting than, say, the basic Christian implication that those of the Jewish faith don't understand their own religion?
